In this show we'll get a rare opportunity to hear from "Mr. Drughead" , a literal savant when it comes to current drug information.  His antanae reach into areas we've never been.  He knows about powders and pills and overseas internet drugs that you've never heard of and he knows about the wheres, whens and hows of their use. Across from him we'll seat my friend Maripat.  Maripat is a Mother and an intelligent person but she's about as naive about the drug world as anybody I've met.  So we'll have a little dialogue between polar opposites to see what wisdom can be extractred from this unlikely combo.  We'll also feature Tom F. an impersonator (not an imposter) who will astound you with his voices and have you on the floor with his comedy. Please join us this week on the next "Straight Stuff on Addictions"  for Beauty and the Beast.
